Nourishing Bites: The Work and Joy Behind the Scenes
We’ve been thinking a lot about how we can ‘virtually’ open the farm gate to our members, given the restrictions of living in a pandemic. Fortunately, we’re blessed with many creative and talented friends! Longtime volunteer Karen encouraged her daughter Lauren to document our work and life at April Joy Farm.
Many thanks to my family for helping with the endless work of farming. Many thanks to Lauren for crafting this beautiful video.
Many thanks to Karen for loving our farm.~ AJ
We Are Each Other’s Destiny
“Whatever you aim to do, whatever problem you hope to address, remember to accompany those who are struggling, those who are left out, who lack the capabilities needed to solve their own problems. We are each other’s destiny. Beneath the hard skills and firm strategic priorities needed to resolve our greatest challenges lies the soft, fertile ground of our shared humanity. In that place of hard and soft is sustenance enough to nourish the entire human family.”
